A short reaction mechanism for the combustion of dimethyl-ether

Fourteen chemical-kinetic steps are identified, and their associated reaction-rate parameters are given, that enable an existing short chemical-kinetic mechanism (the San Diego mechanism) to be expanded to include the ignition and combustion of dimethyl-ether, over a range of conditions that includes both low-temperature and high-temperature chemistry, as well as both high and low pressures, extending to normal atmospheric pressure. This entails...
